Goodbye, GameSpy MultiPlayer List Servers...
So I was checking something else on the web, and ran afoul of this... Gamasutra - GameSpy ceasing all hosted services this May (http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/214700/GameSpy_ceasing_all_hosted_services_this_May.php) ...and this... Gamasutra - Devs, gamers angry over Glu's handling of GameSpy Technology (http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/183309/Devs_gamers_angry_over_Glus_handling_of_GameSpy_Technology.php) ...and realized that every game out there that depends on the GameSpy MultiPlayer List Servers will be rendered unable to get players into multiplayer game rounds soon. A technology that's been around about 16 years (at least as far as I know), and now all of us gamers out there are about to have the metaphorical floor ripped out from under us. Maybe I'm crazy, but we didn't deserve to have this happen to us because a bunch of developers didn't pay their bills? And heck, what happened to advert support on the GameSpy websites handling server costs? At least, that's what I used to think was keeping them running. Oh well... There goes the ability for some games I play to be useful for anything more than single player. Yeah, discuss, obviously... ~Mr. D. V. "Tripping across the bomb-droppers..."

OpenSSL 'heartbleed' vulnerability
We may need to be, seeing as websites would be running that item, particularly as a mod on their server software. I've already discovered a Non-RS-related issue elsewhere that I'm going to have to get resolved. <_< Thanks for the heads-up! :thumbsup: ~D. V. "Damnit, this issue would happen..." Devnull

Augh... #-o <*DVD drops a sandwich designed for a 50-foot-tall giant on top of Gandalf, resulting in the experience of the sound and visual of a massive, crushing splat... all while Gandalf gets to actually feel it.*> Eat your way out from under that. :P Now, where were we?

Bank Updates - Quick Presets and Drag & Drop (7/4/13)
<*stares at the thing about "Drag and Drop to Destroy", and facewalls hard*> Jagex screws up again, seeing as Griefers and Black-Hat-Hackers are going to love that. All they have to do now is break in completely and they can insta-destroy a person's entire everything even more easily now. I could see drag-drop for bank to inventory/equips, but giving the direct ability to drag out and destroy is completely wrong. Maybe allow drag-drop to ground, but they should never have given total destruction. :wall: ~D. V. "Nobody's safe anymore..." Devnull
